Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for carrying out the geodetic instrument of measuring with respect to target.Such geodetic instrument can for example be stadia, transit, total powerstation or surveyor's level or its combination.
Background technology
Target can for example be a sounding rod, like ranging rod or levelling staff.Ranging rod allows in the visual field of geodetic instrument the detection to this ranging rod, thereby is mainly used in angle and distance and measures.Levelling staff has pattern (being similar to digital chain) in addition above that, and this pattern can be read with the relative height (guidance axis of supposition instrument be arranged in true level in) of indication between levelling staff and geodetic instrument by geodetic instrument.For the ease of measuring, sounding rod can be provided with the reflecting surface or the pattern of the two or more parts with different reflection potentiales.Further, sounding rod can be provided with extra reverberator.In addition, can coat the pattern of typical color or two or more different colours to sounding rod.Alternatively, target can even for example be prism, the active target that transmits, arbitrary objects or road sign.When combining for example electronic distance-measuring equipment (EDM) use, prism provides pinpoint accuracy as the use of target.The use of active target can be convenient to the tracking of target.
Such geodetic instrument for example is used in measurement and drawing and Structural Engineering.It need all be fit in any field with respect to the measurement of range observation, position measurement, goniometry (measurement of angle) and the relative height difference of target.And it can be used for geometric point is transferred to " real world " environment (for example, when arranging boundary marker) from for example technology figure.
When combining target uses geodetic instrument, must in the visual field of geodetic instrument, give target localization.This can be through regulating geodetic instrument the orientation or realize through the position of regulating target, depend on the physical location of target or the predeterminated position that is stored in the geodetic instrument is the RP of measuring (even being called geodetic station).
The measuring unit of geodetic instrument is depended in the visual field of geodetic instrument.Under the situation of optics geodetic instrument, the optical device of geodetic instrument is depended in the visual field, and can change to far-field measurement near field measurement continually through using adjustable lens (for example, liquid lens or zoom lens are arranged).In presents, the visual field is the area of space that geodetic instrument can not change the orientation of geodetic instrument with respect to target execution measurement.When target is positioned on the predeterminated position of visual field of geodetic instrument, realize the alignment between target and the geodetic instrument.Straight line between predeterminated position and the instrument is called guidance axis.This guidance axis usually is arranged on the centre of the visual field of geodetic instrument.The graticule in the display or the eyepiece of instrument are usually visually represented this guidance axis.Guidance axis can be limited in advance the optical device of instrument or even dynamically limited according to the location of the predeterminated position in the visual field of instrument.
The application handle geodetic instrument about target with respect in orientation, distance and the height of instrument at least one, the preferential selection of instrument is the situation of the RP measured.Therefore, the position of target must be positioned at predeterminated position through moving target up to target according to the preferential selection that geodetic instrument provides and regulates.When beginning, target is separated with the guidance axis (even being called sighted direction) of instrument, thereby on different directions, separate different distances with predeterminated position usually.With respect to the distance of guidance axis, particularly the distance with respect to predeterminated position usually is called skew.
Traditionally, target needs showing up of two users interact with each other to the adjusting of the position of geodetic instrument.First user changes the position of target, checks whether target is positioned at predetermined position with respect to geodetic instrument and second user operates geodetic instrument.First user advises that second user changes the position of target, is arranged in predeterminated position (with respect at least one of angle, distance and height) up to target with respect to geodetic instrument and locates.
The shortcoming of the method that this is traditional is, it is essential with respect to the position of geodetic instrument that the showing up of at least two interactional people exchanged the program mark.This usually is difficult to, because the user of operation geodetic instrument and the distance of carrying between the user of target maybe be very long.Such measurement that user carries out the position of target alone expends time in very much, because unique user must change the position of target and operate geodetic instrument.
In order to overcome this problem, the geodetic instrument of the aid that is provided with the mensuration that is used to be convenient to the border has been described in patent US 4,560,270.This instrument comprises unidirectional transfer voice equipment, can audible instruction can send to the user who carries the sounding rod that comprises prism from surveying instrument through this equipment.This equipment makes the operator of instrument by word of mouth the user who carries sounding rod is directed to the expectation boundary marker.In addition, this instrument also is provided with and is installed in the fixed position with respect to instrument but is not electrically connected to its line sighting device.The line sighting device is launched two light beams of dispersing a little with mutual different character continuously.These two light beams are overlapping in narrow central area.The user then with sounding rod move on the plot in the central area a bit, overlapping at this some place, and at this some place, prism aligns with the guidance axis of surveying instrument from two light beams of the direction transmission of the unit of indicating this device.
Comprise that from the geodetic instrument of the known line sighting device of prior art the narrow central area of line sighting device with the guidance axis of geodetic instrument and measuring route complete matching is respectively and is important.And the line sighting device must guarantee, and is all overlapping in very narrow central area at these two light beams under the situation of near field measurement and far-field measurement.Even the maximum functional distance between prism and instrument, the overlapping central area of two different light beams are can not obvious measuring route than instrument big.As a result, the optical device of line sighting device must have enough quality, and must with the measuring route complete matching of instrument.This causes sizable measurement cost to the line sighting device.In addition, exist the line sighting device to become unjustified thereby necessary during use by sizable risk of adjusting once more.Further, because the cause of narrow central area, be arranged in any that user on the either side of central area can only see two light beams.The line sighting device must constantly be launched two light beams.
From US 5,051, the geodetic instrument of the line sighting device in 934 above the known use.According to this prior art; Distance-measuring device has the prism tracking equipment; When prism was arranged in the path from the measuring beam of the electronic distance measuring instrument EDM emission that is incorporated in measurement mechanism, the prism tracking equipment kept this device to align unchangeably with the prism that on setting-out rod, carries automatically.Therefore, through rotating this device automatically around vertical and transverse axis, prism is maintained on the measurement axis of EDM unchangeably.When prism carriage during in bar and prism peripheral support, EDM carries out continuous measurement to the prism that on setting-out rod, carries.This device also is provided with the horizontal angle indicator and also is provided with the vertical angle indicator; The orientation of EDM on the horizontal angle indicator indication horizontal direction; That is, with respect to the horizontal angle of reference angular position, and vertical angle indicator indication EDM vertical angle with respect to the horizontal plane.This device is according to the measurement result of EDM and calculated signals horizontal range and the difference in height that is provided by the vertical angle detector.The measured value of horizontal length, level angle and difference in height compares with the anchor point data that before measuring, are input to device.Therefore, the actual value exported of the goal-selling value of level and vertical angle indicator and EDM and level and vertical angle indicator and EDM relatively.The result of this comparison is fed to indicator, and the light signal that its generation can be distinguished by the prism carriage easily, and have the indication prism and whether should move and the mutual different coding how to move is so that be positioned to the preset anchor point that is different from starting point from starting point.The preset value one of level and vertical angle indicator and EDM matees with the actual value that level and vertical angle indicator and EDM are exported, and anchor point just is reached.Propose that as an example if prism need move to right, this coding makes indicator produce ruddiness, and if prism need move to left to be positioned at next anchor point, then produce green glow.Alternatively, propose the transmission Morse code.According to an example, two light beams of the different colours (for example green and red) that the indicator emission is dispersed a little make light beam overlapping in narrow central area, with the measurement axis to the user's indicating device that carries prism.
The shortcoming of prior art is that the prism of following the tracks of the path of the measuring beam of launching from the electronic distance measuring instrument of device is difficult to.This device must be all the time tilts around two orthogonal axes, with keep prism with launch from electronic distance measuring instrument, align along the narrow measuring beam of measurement axis.Therefore, there is the excessive risk of following the tracks of failure and must be repeated.This means that the user must turn back to device and manually operate this device, before can carrying out new tracking, measuring beam is alignd with prism.If the distance between device and the prism is big, this is very time-consuming.Alternatively, about US 4,560, the line sighting instrument of 270 descriptions can be used for making prism to align with measuring beam.In this case, from US 5,051,934 known devices suffer the problem identical with the line sighting device.Under the situation of this line sighting device not, can not under manually not making instrument and situation that prism aligns, prism be arranged in from the measuring beam of EDM emission with the beginning tracing process.
Summary of the invention
Begin from top prior art file, the purpose of this invention is to provide geodetic instrument and the method that is used to control it, it has avoided the top shortcoming of prior art.
According to embodiment, the purpose of this invention is to provide geodetic instrument and be used to control its method, the unchanged direction that this method is kept guidance axis simultaneously through a manipulation of objects is convenient to the aliging of guidance axis of target and this instrument.
According to embodiment, disclose and used target to carry out the geodetic instrument of measurement.This instrument comprise be used for measurement target with respect to the position of the guidance axis of instrument thereby be used for measurement target and guidance axis between the detector of skew (relative distance).Guidance axis is the straight line between the predeterminated position in being stored in instrument and this instrument normally.Under the situation of using the optics geodetic instrument, this guidance axis can be for example and the optical axis coincidence of the optical device of instrument, or certain area limiting of the photo-detector (for example, imageing sensor or 4 quadrant detector) that in instrument, is used.This instrument also comprises optical transmitting set, and it is used for having from instrument output the first taper light and the second taper light with second wavelength that is different from first wavelength of first wavelength.First and second wavelength differ an amount, make the first and second taper light have the various colors that can be distinguished by user at a distance.The first taper light and the second taper light are in the distance overlapping at least 30% from one meter in instrument.Alternatively, this lap even can be at least 50%.Therefore, the radiation orientation of the first and second taper light is closely similar.Instrument also comprises the controller that is connected to detector and optical transmitting set.Controller is configured to the position control optical transmitting set of being surveyed according to target, to export at least one in the first taper light and the second taper light.
Similarly; According to an embodiment, the method that is used for control geodetic instrument when using target to carry out measurement comprises that measurement target has the first taper light of first wavelength and at least one of the second taper light with second wavelength that is different from first wavelength with respect to the position of the guidance axis of instrument and from instrument output.The first taper light and the second taper light are in the distance overlapping at least 30% from one meter in instrument.Alternatively, this lap even can be at least 50%.In addition, the first and second taper light are optionally exported according to the position of being surveyed of target.The first and second taper light alternately or are simultaneously exported.
When instrument and method measurement target optionally exported for the first and second taper light time with respect to the skew of the position of the guidance axis of instrument and according to the skew of being surveyed, can be through target be alignd with the guidance axis of instrument by the indicated manipulation of objects simply of taper light.Needn't handle guidance axis and target that instrument makes instrument in addition in line, hypothetical target is arranged in the visual field of detector.Therefore, the orientation of instrument thereby guidance axis can remain unchanged between the alignment period with target.When not having the needing of operating instrument, have only a user just to be enough to make target to be alignd with instrument.
When the first and second taper light were overlapping to a great extent, the first and second taper light were all simultaneously in a long way off user's the visual field.Do not need the optical device of complicacy on specific direction, to guide the first and second taper light or taper light is alignd with the guidance axis of instrument.Therefore, optical transmitting set thereby geodetic instrument have very simple and firm structure, and can be with the low cost manufacturing.Obviously the invention is not restricted to use only two taper light with different wave length.Alternately use taper light with different wave length more than two.
In order to make user at a distance can distinguish that according to embodiment, the color of taper light is with respect to coordinate a
*And b
*In at least one in the CIELAB color space, differ at least 50 units.According to optional embodiment, the taper light wavelength differs 50nm at least, particularly 100nm each other, and further 150nm particularly, with easily by in addition a long way off user distinguish.According to an embodiment, first wavelength is in the blue light range or green range of visible light, and second wavelength is in the red range of visible light.The taper light wavelength at the 380nm of visible light in the scope of 780nm.
According to another embodiment, this instrument also comprises chassis and object lens.Object lens limit the optical axis of detector and instrument.Alternatively, optical axis can overlap with guidance axis.Optical transmitting set be positioned to the chassis on object lens adjacent.The optical device that comprises object lens combines photo-detector to be widely used.Owing on the chassis,, guarantee that the user of manipulation of objects can see optical transmitting set, as long as target (thereby even user) is in the visual field of instrument adjacent to the arranged light transmitter of object lens.And when guidance axis overlapped with the optical axis of object lens continually, top layout guaranteed that in fact optical transmitting set is arranged in by the guidance axis.
In addition, according to an embodiment, optical transmitting set comprises a plurality of light sources of the emission first taper light and the second taper light.In addition, light source centers on this objective lens arrangement on the chassis, thereby approaches guidance axis.The use that is used to launch a plurality of light sources of the first and second taper light is the easy and reliable method that increases by the first and second taper light intensities thereby visibility.In addition, because the redundancy of light source if light source out of order, still can be used instrument.
According to an embodiment, optical transmitting set comprises first light source of launching the first taper light and the secondary light source of launching the second taper light.Therefore, the first and second taper light are in this embodiment by different light emitted.For example, can use the light source that combines different filter to use the emission white light, or use different light sources, each light emitted different wave length, thereby the light of emission different colours.Light source can for example be light emitting diode (LED), bulb, discharge lamp or glow lamp.
According to an embodiment, in order further to increase by the first and second taper light intensities, optical transmitting set comprises many to first and second light sources.
In this respect, according to an embodiment, first and second light sources can alternately be arranged each other.This layout allows on the chassis of instrument, to distribute light source.Therefore, the visibility of optical transmitting set further increases.Alternatively, for example first light source can be arranged in first group, and secondary light source can be arranged in second group that is different from first group.
According to another embodiment, optical transmitting set comprises at least one common light source of alternately launching the first taper light and the second taper light.For example, the wave filter that can combine to change uses the light source of emission white light, or uses the LED that can optionally launch the light of different wave length.When a light source was used to launch the first and second taper light time, the quantity of the part of instrument reduces, thereby manufacturing cost has reduced.
According to an embodiment, detector comprises imageing sensor and the optical device that is used on imageing sensor, producing two dimensional image, and imageing sensor is transformed into electric signal with two dimensional image.This imageing sensor can for example be 4 quadrant detector or ccd sensor or cmos sensor.Optical device can provide and for example focus on or zoom function.In this embodiment, controller further be configured to through identification by the position of being discerned of the position of the expression of the target in the signal of imageing sensor output and the expression through comparison object with come the position of the detection of a target corresponding to the reference position of guidance axis with respect to the guidance axis of instrument.This reference position is defined with respect to imageing sensor.The reference position can with the guidance axis of for example instrument and the optical axis coincidence of optical device.
For example, when 4 quadrant detector when the imageing sensor, this reference position can be defined as the scope that the angle of four quadrants joins.Therefore, can whether mainly be arranged on some quadrant of 4 quadrant detector through the expression of the detection of a target rather than equally cover the position that all four quadrants are judged target.When ccd sensor or cmos sensor during as imageing sensor, this reference position can for example be the reference pixel of detector or particularly center pixel.In this respect, Digital Image Processing for example can be used for surveying the pixel corresponding to the sensor of the expression of target.The position of these pixels on sensor can be compared to judge that for example target is with respect to the position of guidance axis with the position of reference pixel.According to an embodiment, this imageing sensor can be the part of the digital camera of calibration.
In the superincumbent embodiment, only use the position of the output recognizable object of imageing sensor with respect to guidance axis.Therefore, in this respect, needn't consider the orientation of geodetic instrument or the orientation of guidance axis in addition.
According to an embodiment, controller is configured to control optical transmitting set, if the guidance axis that the position of feasible target is judged as with respect to instrument has moved the position on first direction, then only exports the first taper light.Further, controller is configured to control optical transmitting set, if the guidance axis that the position of feasible target is judged as with respect to instrument has moved the position on the second direction opposite with first direction, then only exports the second taper light.
Respectively according to the first and second taper light of being exported because the different wave length thereby the various colors of the first and second taper light, manipulation of objects, user at a distance can judge easily target with respect to guidance axis be first or second direction on squint.These first and second directions can be discerned with respect to for example to the left or to the right skew of guidance axis, or skew up or down, or backward or skew forward.
According to another embodiment, controller is configured to control optical transmitting set, makes in the first and second taper light at least one as the unlatching that replaces with turn-off the light at the intermittence of pulse and exported.If the guidance axis that the position of target is judged as with respect to instrument has moved the position on third direction, the duration of then opening and turn-offing pulse is corresponding to first pattern.Further, if the guidance axis that the position of target is judged as with respect to instrument has upwards moved the position in the four directions, the duration of then opening and turn-offing pulse is corresponding to second pattern that is different from first pattern.Each duration of opening and turn-offing pulse is greater than 0.6 second, thereby can be easily by User Recognition.Each duration of alternatively, opening and turn-offing pulse was greater than 1.0 seconds.
Respectively according to first and second patterns of being exported of opening and turn-offing pulse, the user of the distant place of manipulation of objects can judge easily that target is the 3rd or upwards skew of four directions with respect to guidance axis.These third and fourth directions can be discerned with respect to guidance axis for example up or down or backward or forward or skew to the left or to the right.First and second patterns can and be turn-offed at least one of length of pulse different in the length of unbalanced pulse.First and second patterns even can for example identify different Morse codes.Obviously only the invention is not restricted to use two different light to open and turn-off the pattern of pulse.
According to an embodiment, controller is configured to control said optical transmitting set, makes that only be judged as guidance axis with respect to instrument in the position of target just export the first taper light and the second taper light on predeterminated position the time simultaneously.
Therefore, the user of the distant place of manipulation of objects has been arrived the predeterminated position with respect to the guidance axis of instrument by the proactive notification target.Be stressed that, the invention is not restricted to this output of the first and second taper light when target arrives predeterminated position.Can be for example through alternately export with preset interval the first and second taper light, through make the first and second taper optical flares or for example through do not export taper light with the position of other type notice ownership goal corresponding to predeterminated position.
According to an embodiment, detector can come the position of measurement target with respect to the guidance axis of instrument with respect to the angle and distance of the guidance axis of instrument and in the height at least one through measurement target.Target can be by directly (for example from the relative distance of guidance axis thereby skew; Through with respect to the distance between detector measurement target and the guidance axis) or impliedly (for example, the angle between the straight line between guidance axis and instrument and target is measured in the measurement of the distance through combining target) detect.Which detect on target is positioned at guidance axis with respect to certain position on the employed detector of instrument the side usually just enough simply.Obviously, instrument even can comprise that a plurality of detectors are used for top measurement or carry out extra measurement with respect to target.For example; Electronic distance measuring instrument EDM (for example can be used for measurement target; Prism) distance; And the position of the expression of the target in the signal that the angle between the straight line between guidance axis and instrument and target can be exported through the imageing sensor that is identified in instrument (for example, lens or carry the sounding rod of lens) is measured.
According to an embodiment, taper light is limited 50% the angular region that comprises light intensity that optical transmitting set is exported.Alternatively, taper light is limited 70% the angular region that comprises light intensity that optical transmitting set is exported.This can be for example measured one meter distance.
According to an embodiment of this method, instrument comprises imageing sensor and the optical device that is used on imageing sensor, producing two dimensional image.In this case, target comprises the position of being discerned and reference position corresponding to guidance axis of expression of position and the comparison object of the expression that is identified in the target in the signal that imageing sensor exports with respect to the measurement of the position of the guidance axis of instrument.The reference position is defined with respect to imageing sensor.
In the superincumbent embodiment, the output of imageing sensor is enough to the position of recognition objective with respect to guidance axis.Therefore, needn't consider the orientation of the guidance axis of geodetic instrument in this respect in addition.
According to another embodiment of this method, target comprises that with respect to the measurement of the position of instrument whether the position of judging target moved the position at the guidance axis with respect to instrument on the first direction or on the second direction opposite with first direction.In addition, the output of at least one of the first and second taper light comprises: if target be judged as on first direction, moved the position only export the first taper light, and if target be judged as on second direction, moved the position then only export the second taper light.
According to another embodiment of this method, target comprises that with respect to the measurement of the position of the guidance axis of instrument whether the position of judging target upwards moved the position with respect to the guidance axis of instrument on third direction or in the four directions opposite with third direction.And; The output of at least one in the first and second taper light comprises the unlatching that at least one conduct in the output first and second taper light replaces and turn-offs pulse; Wherein, if the position of target is judged as the third party move up, the duration of then opening and turn-offing pulse is corresponding to first pattern; And if the position of target is judged as in the four directions and moves up, the duration of then opening and turn-offing pulse is corresponding to second pattern that is different from first pattern.The duration of each of unlatching and shutoff pulse was more than 0.6 second.
According in the first or second taper light of being exported at least one and according to first or second pattern of being exported of opening and turn-offing pulse, manipulation of objects, user at a distance can judge easily target whether first, second, third or the four directions upwards squint with respect to guidance axis.
According to an embodiment, target with respect to the measurement of the position of the guidance axis of instrument comprise judge target with respect to the position of instrument whether corresponding to predeterminated position.The output of at least one in the first and second taper light comprises: export the first and second taper light simultaneously if the position of target is judged as corresponding to predeterminated position; With the user of the distant place of proactive notification manipulation of objects, target arrives predeterminated position with respect to the guidance axis of instrument.

First and second wavelength are selected such that the first and second taper light 41,42 have various colors.In this embodiment, can distinguish that in order to make user at a distance the color of taper light differs coordinate a in the CIELAB color space
*And b
*70 units.Yet, if taper light in the CIELAB color space with respect to coordinate a
*And b
*At least one differ at least 50 units and then think just enough.According to optional embodiment, even the taper light wavelength differs 150nm at least each other with easily by distinguish at a distance.Yet near the yellow range of visible light, 50nm thinks enough so that differentiable color relation to be arranged if wavelength differs at least.
